Publication number: 20240067134Abstract: A system includes a dome, a wiper assembly, a position sensor and a control device. The wiper assembly includes a wiper blade configured to rotate around the dome. The position sensor may be configured to send a signal to a control device when a wiper blade passes the position sensor. The control device may include one or more processors configured to receive the signal from the position sensor and determine a location of the wiper blade relative to the dome based on the received signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 6, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Graham Doorley, Paul Thomas Hansen Karplus, Peter Avram

Publication number: 20230286451Abstract: The system 100 can include: a vehicle platform 110; a vehicle interface 120; and/or any other suitable components. The system 100 can optionally include driver system 130, an auxiliary sensor payload 140, a logger 150, and/or any other suitable components. However, the system 100 can additionally or alternatively include any other suitable set of components. The system functions to facilitate control of the vehicle platform based on driver inputs received at the vehicle interface. Additionally or alternatively, the system can function to facilitate installation and/or operation of a driver system (e.g., such as an AI driver or autonomous agent; modular driver system) and/or an auxiliary sensor payload onboard the vehicle platform. However, the system 100 can have any other suitable functionality.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 1, 2023Publication date: September 14, 2023Inventors: Andreas Bauer, Graham Doorley, Eric Canonge, Kyle Motter, Julian Lemus, Mengwei Campbell

Patent number: 9731688Abstract: A wiper system for clearing a surface of a dome includes a plurality of wiper blades that are configured to move around a circumference of the dome. Rotation of the wiper blades in a first direction around the circumference of the dome deploys the wiper blades into an upright position and rotation of the wiper blades in a second direction opposite the first direction stows the wiper blades into a collapsed position.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2014Date of Patent: August 15, 2017Assignee: Waymo LLCInventors: Graham Doorley, Paul Thomas Hansen Karplus, Peter Avram
